AUDITIONS AND CORRECflONS TO PART I 169 



1796 



47 VOLTA (1796) Ichlhyolithologia Veronese. 



Giovanni Serafino Volta. 



Monopteros Volta. CXCL; orthotypc M. c.icas Volta (fossil). Replaces Pla- 



TiNx .Ar. -MoNorTERUS L;ic.. 1798. is thus preoccupied and must give way 



toFLUTA Bl. & Schn. (1801). 



1801 



55. HLOCH & SCIl.VKIDliR (1801). Systcma Ichlhyologiee. 



Mark Elif.ser Blocii ; Jouann Gottlob Schneider (1750-1822). 



Periophthalmus RIoch & Schneider, 63; logotype, as first restricted (by Gill, 1863) 



Gomus sciiLOSSERJ Pallas. The name therefore replaces Periophthalmodon 



Blkr., while the common species known as Periophthal.mus barbarus or 



P. KOELREUTERI is the type of EUCHORISTOPUS Gill (1863). 



Synanceja Bloch & Schneider. 194; logotype S. verrucosa Bl. & Schn., as first 

 restricted by Miiller, 1843. This limitation to species without vomerine teeth 

 holds as against Bleeker's restriction to the first species named, S. horrida. 

 Svnanceta thus replaces Spurco Conimerson, Synanceichthvs Blkr. and 

 E.MMYDRICHTHYS JordaT & Ruttcr. S. HORRIDA is type of Synancidium 

 Muller. I am not convinced by Bleeker's statement that Synancidium is not 

 a valid genus. 

 Plata Bloch & Schneider, 565; orthotype Monopterus javanensis Lac. Name a 

 substitute for Monopterus Lac. (1798). The latter is preoccupied by Mo- 

 nopteros Volta (1796). The type species should stand as Fluta alba 

 (Zuieuw). 



1803 



56. LACePfiDE (1803). Histoirc iialuretic des poissons. IV. V. 



Bernard Germain LAcfipfeoE (1756-1825). 



Enoplosus Lacecepedc. IV, 540; orthotype Ch.€todon armatus Shaw. This genus 



dates from 1803. The name F.noplosi's was not used by White in 1790. 

 Stolephorus Lacepede, V, 381; logotype S. commersonianus Lac. In view of the 

 fact that the descriptions of Stolephorus of Lacepede. Blocker and Jordan 

 were drawn from this species, the second-named by Laccpcdc, it may well be 

 regarded as the type of Stolephorus. S. japonicus, the first-named species 

 and the one first formally indicated as type, was very scantily described, and 

 was unknown to authors until very recently. In this view Stolephorus will 

 replace or include Ancuoviella Fowler (1911). This reverses the decision 

 in part I, page 67. 



1804 



S6A LACfiPfiDR (1804). Memoires siir plusxeurs animaux tie In Nouvclle 



Hollande, etc. Ann. Mus. Nat. Hist., IV, 1804. 



Bernard Germain LAcfePEDE. 



Prionurus L<-iccpcde. IV, 211; orthotype P. m icrolepidotus Lac. 



Platypodus Laccpi-dc, IV. 211; orthotype P. furca Lac. 



This genus, overlooked by subsequent writers, seems to belong to the 

 OspHRoNE.Min.R. an ally of Macropoius. It {■* said to have large fan-like 

 ventrals of at least eight rays, the dorsal extending from the nape to the 

 base of the caudal, which is narrow, forked, its lobes half as long as rest 

 of body; pectorals small; anal very low. This may be, as suggested by 

 Dr. Gunther for Macropodus. a domesticated form of Polyacanthus. Both 

 names, if correctly written (Macropus; Platypus), are preoccupied.
